Another victim in the world of false rape accusations. This time it's both and a boy and his mother, who both committed suicide just months apart after a rape case on the innocent young boy was dropped. How many more lives need to be prematurely taken away before we finally learn that bullshitting about a serious incident can have huge repercussions. It's not okay in any respect to treat an innocent person like a criminal based on nothing but a hunch, because these are huge accusations being thrown around that have been proven to destroy the lives of families, yet still never get any attention from a modern culture so obsessed with justice in the face of sexual assault. In what fucking world is it okay to start naming and shaming innocent people whilst simultaneously protecting those that have purposely lied to a court in an attempt to ruin an innocent life? Even if the innocent party doesn't face the publish backlash of a false rape trial they must still be forced to pay huge legal bills, all because of some stupid allegations that people blindly believed without evidence. What I'm certainly not suggesting is that we should instantly dismiss alleged rape victims until there is a verdict, and I'm certainly not suggesting that we should start a crusade against those individuals who acted in a situation of danger irrespective of the verdict, but what we should be doing is condemning those who blatantly lie for their own benefit. You may think this is a rarity, but from 2009 to 2014 there were 109 people prosecuted for falsely accusing another of rape. Even when presented with this statistic pressure groups didn't show any sympathy for the alleged attacker who was found innocent, instead claiming that these criminals were treated unfairly. Turns out when the shoe is on the other foot everyone goes ape shit. But hey, so much for this idea of gender equality.
As a young man I'm repetitively told that not believing the victim full stop is the actions of a rape apologist, therefore contributing to a rape culture. All I say is look at the consequences of not being a 'rape apologist'. Maybe there would be far less of a so called 'rape culture' in this country if people stopped supporting lying parasites that still gain sympathy despite behaving like absolute scum, only encouraging more heartless individuals to lie in the face of justice. There is progress in Britain, with jail sentences being handed out to the worst of the bunch, but this isn't a big enough trend in my mind, with many countries still cocking around over a very serious matter. Even in the UK alleged rapists are still outed before a conviction like a witch hunt, so it's no surprise why many men feel the need to take their own lives. In my mind there should be a serious punishment for ruining another person's life, and until lying scum find out what life is like with the shitty end of the stick pointing in their direction then this is a trend that's only going to grow.
Fucking Cyclists
On a recent holiday to Holland I finally found the evidence I needed to condemn the common menace that are cyclists. The Dutch traffic system is proof that when cyclists gain power they ruin places for everyone. If you so happen to be a pedestrian in Holland, which many people are, then you're a second class citizen. There are more bikes than people in Holland, and at every available opportunity the Dutch are always on hand to remind the foreigners of this statistic. The Dutch are incredibly friendly to hopeless tourists like me, but they will all happily unite in anger when you stray into the path of a bicycle. When you actually try and do the menial task of crossing a road in Holland you come across the mammoth task of looking fifteen different directions at hoping that the sheer mass of bicycles, who don't follow any form of traffic signals because they're entitled cunts, don't plough into you. The signal of a green man for pedestrians means 'maybe you could try crossing now', instead of 'it's safe to cross'. Then once that enormity is finished you have to watch out for trams and cars who do like using roads, but will happily frequent the pavement if it suits their needs. The pavement in Holland is like a free area, and nobody gives a second thought about using it. To even function in a city like Amsterdam you need 360 degree vision, and if you don't, well cyclists will use their most lethal deterrent; their pathetic bells. Although to be fair bike bells in Amsterdam are a mark of death, as once you piss one cyclist off everyone in the city seems to hate you.
So why you ask is this an issue? Well aside from being bloody annoying it proves the chaos that occurs when you give cyclists a free key to the city. I would of loved Amsterdam had it not been for the constant fear of death or trampling every two seconds even when you're on the pavement. Yes I'm sure most Dutch people love cycling. I didn't ask any because they were all trying to kill me, but I will admit that this behaviour did improve in other Dutch cities, although there was still a sense that cyclists could do whatever they wanted without any consequences. Talk on your phone whilst riding? Fine. Take a fucking motorbike or even anything that faintly resembles a bike down a busy street? Fine. Let a pedestrian use the pavement? What the fuck are you doing. It's an amazing double standard that cyclists expect fast moving traffic to watch out for them, but then have the same attitude about slower moving pedestrians. Because it's clear all cyclists are morons, cyclists should never have the right of way. How have we as humans allowed this to happen to places around the globe we should treasure and enjoy? And more importantly why have we allowed it to happen to such a great country like Holland? Give cyclists Syria to muck around in, and don't let them ruin my trips to the various bars in the Netherlands. In Britain we have the perfect mentality of trying to scare the living hell out of cyclists, and it works; mostly. We don't get this insufferable plague of bikes adorning the pavements of Britain because we have a suitable deterrent for the pretentious bug that all cyclist have, the intolerant Great British motorist, who without a second thought will knock down any two wheeled vehicle that pisses him off. Cyclist being cyclists are always trying to be cunts, but that's the menace we as a society face, and us Brits realise this. Holland I implore you to stop letting cyclists have the power to ruin your beautiful country, because it's clear to me that your generosity has been taken advantage of. Yours sincerely, an ignorant tourist.
